In 1990 bracht INXS"By My Side" uit als onderdeel van hun album "X".
Na een zachte piano intro, volgt een krachtige gitaarriff.
Gezongen met intensiteit en emotie, behoort "By My Side" tot de vele klassiekers van INXS.
Een tijdloos nummer dat tot op de dag van vandaag veel mensen raakt en blijft inspireren.

In the dark of the night
Those small hours
Uncertain and anxious
I need to call you

Rooms full of strangers
Some call me friend
But I wish you were so close to me

In the dark of night
Those small hours
I drift away
When I'm with you

In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were

Here comes the clown
His face is a wall
No window
No air at all

In the dark of night
Those faces they haunt me
But I wish you were
So close to me

In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were

In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were

In the dark of night
Those faces they haunt me
Well, I wish you were so close to me

Yes I wish you were
By my side
